Description

This test case verifies how network interfaces registered for the Virtual Functions enabled by network adapters with SRIOV capability. For more information on SRIOV and how to enable Virtual Functions can be found on Virtualization_SRIOV.

The commnad line paramter can be provided to igb while booting into the Live Image by passing igb.max_vfs=2 to enable 2 virtual functions. At the bootloader screen, press Tab to edit the boot arguments and append igb.max_vfs=2

Verify that Virtual Functions are enabled by issuing the command lspci. In the lspci output, observe that 2 virtual functions for each of the Physical Functions is listed. For example:
